Commentary
Monnaie intéressante avec, au droit, une tête dont la chevelure laisse penser à une attribution aux Namnètes, et la tête du cheval androcéphale bien visible au revers !.
Interesting coin with, on the right, a head whose hair suggests an attribution to the Namnetes, and the head of the androcephalic horse clearly visible on the reverse!

Historical background
NAMNETES (Area of Nantes)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
Armorican people, the Namnètes were installed at the mouth of the Loire whose course separated them from the Pictons. Their name is retained by that of the city of Nantes. Their maritime role seems to have been important and they participated in the operations against the Romans in 56 BC and supported the Venetian fleet. It is among the Veneti that Strabo places the port of tin, Corbilo. Caesar (BG. III, 9). Strabo (G. IV, 2, 1).
